Ohio State @ Nebraska

Current Records: Ohio State 10-7; Nebraska 9-9

What to Know

The Ohio State Buckeyes will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Pinnacle Bank Arena at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday. The teams split their matchups last year, with OSU winning the first 87-79 on the road and the Nebraska Cornhuskers taking the second 78-70.

It was close but no cigar for the Buckeyes as they fell 68-64 to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Sunday. Forward Justice Sueing had a rough afternoon: he finished with only seven points on 3-for-10 shooting and turned the ball over four times in his 34 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Nebraska lost to the Purdue Boilermakers on the road by a decisive 73-55 margin. Forward Derrick Walker put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 19 points in addition to six boards.

OSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
